The four tools are mostly distinct: status reports health/configuration, list enumerates entities, inspect drills into one artifact, and compare contrasts two items. There is mild potential overlap between status and inspect, but descriptions are clear enough for an agent to select the intended operation.

All tool names follow the same aigw_<verb> pattern using simple, consistent verbs. This creates a predictable convention across the entire tool set.

Four tools is a reasonable, focused count for a read-only gateway observability utility. It sits slightly low for a server claiming to 'manage' providers, but the count itself is not excessive or trivial.

The tool surface only supports reading and comparing gateway entities; there are no create, update, delete, or configuration-change operations. Given the 'manage' framing, this is a significant functional gap that would prevent agents from actually managing providers.
